Probably because we don't now have cats, we've had many more birds in, and nesting in, the garden - including at least 1 pair of robins which have built their nest in the ivy on the fence, and only about 5m from the conservatory doors.
This one is thus a regular visitor to the plum tree just opposite the nest - it knows we are watching, and so it watches us until it thinks we are not looking, and then flies into it!
Any idea what species the dead (?) spider is?
